Fleet (JetBrains)
Fleet is JetBrains’ next‑generation, distributed polyglot IDE for local, remote, and cloud‑native development.
Fleet is a lightweight yet full‑featured IDE/editor from JetBrains that fluidly shifts from fast text editing to rich, IntelliJ‑powered code intelligence.
Built for polyglot teams, remote work, and real‑time collaboration, it unifies local, containerized, and cloud‑based development into a single, modern workspace.
🚫 The problem Fleet (JetBrains) solves
Fleet eliminates the tradeoff between heavyweight IDEs and barebones editors, unifying fast editing, deep code intelligence, and cloud dev environments.
It streamlines polyglot workflows, standardizes remote workspaces, and enables real‑time collaboration across distributed engineering teams.
✅ How Fleet (JetBrains) works
Fleet starts as a minimal editor, then activates Smart Mode to spin up language‑specific backends for deep code insight, refactoring, and debugging.
A distributed architecture separates the UI from IntelliJ and LSP backends, running against a virtualized file system that spans local disks, containers, and remote workspaces in JetBrains Space.
